AddType is used to assign a MIME type to a file suffix.

F.e. to override the MIME type of an PDF *sic

AddType text/plain .pdf

This will force the browser to load and show a PDF as plain text, because server is sending the text/plain MIMe type. But many applications handle files by content and not by suffix.

RemoveHandler

This is unnecessary, you don't want to remove anything from the standard configuration.

AddHandler handler-name .htm

This should do it, but it depends on your server configuration. You need the right "handler-name".

Standard handler-name for most Apache servers with PHP installed is

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm

but it could differ and it depends on your configuration. If you are using a shared or managed hosting without access to the Apache configuration file, you should ask your hoster.

I was using shared hosting with handler-names like 

AddHandler php4-cgi .php .html

or

AddHandler php52-cgi .php .html

and another was using totally different way like

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php .php5 .htm .html

Otherwise have a look on your Apache configuration file. This page may be helpful to find the right section and to adapt.

Did you try:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .htm .html

?

Exactly the same problem, the basic code forces page download, but this:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .htm .html

...rectified the issue & worked perfectly.

if you are using fcgi none of the above will work ; you need 

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
<Files ~ (\.html)>
    SetHandler fcgid-script
    FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .html
    Options +ExecCGI
    allow from all
</Files>
